Well, C/Fortran/C++/ASM are a PITA when it comes to dynamic structures like the one for handling configurations. Plus authors missed that boxing in python has a tendency to fragment data in a non controlable way in the memory

I can teach someone litterate in math and one language how to code, but I cannot do the opposite. Coding out of industry is less a usable skill than knowing how to make bread, alcohol, building, mechanic, filling your taxes, reading the law

So basically you have money, you build a plant and you an produce goods with a marginal cost of 0 and just get rich because you had access to capital mostly by birth. Hug, it will not help most citizens to access the production sphere. It w
